Open Source.
The libraries we build on. Last updated 9 May 2026.
Speakeasy stands on a lot of free software. This page lists the
direct dependencies that ship in the app or run on our server,
along with their licenses. Indirect (transitive) dependencies are
tracked in our package lockfiles in the project repository.
Cryptography
AGPL-3.0
Signal Protocol implementation. End-to-end message encryption + sender keys for groups.
ISC
Modern, audited primitives — used for HKDF, HMAC, and the channel-key envelope construction.
Mobile runtime
MIT
Cross-platform UI runtime. The whole app surface is RN.
MIT
JavaScript engine for React Native. Optimized for mobile cold-start.
MIT
Stack navigator + screen lifecycle.
MIT
State management for the persisted local stores.
MIT
SVG rendering — every animated avatar in the app uses it.
MIT
Persistence layer for settings, conversation cache, identity.
Voice calls
BSD-3-Clause
Peer-to-peer audio transport. End-to-end encrypted.
ISC
CallKit / ConnectionService bridge so calls feel native.
Server
MIT
HTTP + WebSocket framework for the message-relay server.
Apache-2.0
SQL query layer for Postgres.
MIT
Redis client — presence + cross-instance ack routing.
Type
SIL OFL 1.1
The wordmark, every label, every preview line. Designed by Mathieu Triay.
Proprietary services
A few non-open dependencies — declared here for completeness:
PROPRIETARY
Device attestation. Used to keep bots out without learning who you are. See
privacy.
PROPRIETARY
TURN relay for voice calls when direct peer-to-peer isn't possible.
PROPRIETARY
Application + Postgres + Redis hosting.
Source
Speakeasy's own source is open. The full monorepo —
application server, mobile client, crypto packages, marketing
site, and infra config — lives at
github.com/speakeasy-messenger/speakeasy.
File a bug, send a PR, or just read the code.
For libraries listed above whose license requires us to publish
derivative source (notably libsignal under AGPL-3.0): our
integration is unmodified — we use the upstream binary release.
